Had at one time fulfilled her

Hi

A certain lady came back to work after a long break. The author wrote:

Work had at one time fulfilled her but now it only underscored
how much she had changed and how much she had given up.

---Does it mean that in the past her work satisfied her, but now it only showed her that she had changed and had given up a lot by quitting this job in the past?
